Nicolas Cage's "Next" Project

Nicolasfull1_3 He acts. He directs. He produces. And of course, he dreams of blue suede shoes. That's Nicolas Cage for ya.

If you blink, you may have missed him in his first major film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Since then, Cage has gone on to box office platinum with such films as The Rock, Con Air, and Gone in Sixty Seconds. Nic's most recent film, Ghost Rider, raked in a cool $200 million worldwide. And, to the delight of National Treasure fans, he's currently filming the sequel in Washington, DC.

Sanjaya Goes to Washington

Sanjayaweb As if to further answer the question, "Mommy, why do the terrorists hate us?", American Idol's semi-talented singing phenom Sanjaya Malakar will soon be meeting President Bush.

They'll no doubt be discussing plans to team up to promote their new line of cologne: "Mediocrity." So hot right now.

The Stars of Heroes Reveal Their Favorite Superheroes

We asked Heroes cast members Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder Suresh), Tawny Cypress (Simone Deveaux -- RIP), Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennet), and Leonard Hawkins (D.L. Hawkins) which superheroes served as inspiration for their characters on the show.

Here's what they had to say:

Batmanoutsiders1pg1Sendhil Ramamurthy: I don’t know. I grew up with comic books a little bit. My favorites were always not so much the guys that had the super-abilities, but the guys that exerted themselves, like Batman. He’s just a normal guy who went a little nuts and a little vengeful and kind of took it out on the slime of the world. Those are the guys that I was kind of inspired by -- everyday people, which in a way, were a merry band of misfits that we are, too.

Sanjaya on Letterman Tonight

Sanjaya_3 Don’t feel bad for Sanjaya Malakar. Perhaps American Idol's most infamous contestant isn’t crying tears over being ousted from the competition. Let’s face it, Sanjaya is going to be famous for more than his singing. I mean, how many other past Idol contestants are asked to present David Letterman’s Top Ten List? But that’s just what Sanjaya is doing tonight.

Tune in to see the boy in action. Maybe his sister will show up, too -- BONUS for you boys! -- Give Me My Remote

The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman -- Interview with Aircraft Carrier Reject Peyton

Bachelor_peyton The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman's latest dumpee, Peyton Wright, Marketing Coordinator for Tri-Delta sorority ("Delta Delta Delta, can I help ya help ya help ya?"), seemed awfully gracious for a chick who just got the Heisman (knee up, hand to the face) on national television. And on an aircraft carrier, no less.

We wanted to know whether Peyton's still feeling so charitable, or if she's planning to join a sore-ority. Because let's face it: Nothing stings like rejection. Except maybe a bad pun.

Totally Frakked: Supernatural -- That Business Called Show

Sn218_d121r_2Supernatural
Title: "Hollywood Babylon"
First Aired: 4/19/07

This week on Supernatural, the Winchester boys head to Hollywoodland to battle ghosts, Gary Cole, and more self-referential humor than you can shake a stick at. Worse than that, they seem to have wandered into the CW studios, which means they have to spend the whole time dodging Sam's ex-girlfriend.

Sam and Dean go to visit the set of a horror movie where one of the crew was horribly killed. Apparently, infiltrating a movie set and getting a job as a PA is so easy you can do it accidentally, because that's just what the guys do. Dean chats up the lead actress, since she's the one who found the dead tech. She shows him a picture, and Dean recognizes the dead guy as an actor. When the Brothers W look him up, he's very much alive -- the whole thing was just a publicity stunt. Or, as they're calling it these days, "viral marketing".

If you're a Charlie-hater, this week's Lost will be enormously satisfying; you'll get to watch him get shot in the throat about 5,000 times. You'll also get to watch Hurley pull up a big cable 2,000 times, but that's less exciting.

Here's what we know:

  • Desmond was a monk for about five minutes. He sucked at it.
  • He met Penny when he got fired by God and thrown out of the monastery.
  • He joined the monastery to get out of his first engagement. What a peach.
  • Despite seeing Charlie die horribly in a vision, Desmond will still lead him right towards an arrow in the throat.
  • Sawyer is A-OK with being an anger-induced jealousy lay. Big surprise.

Britney Spears Blames Her Manager for Recent Downward Spiral

Britneyspears Britney Spears seems to be getting back on track these days. She’s hard at work preparing for an upcoming small venue tour, and she’s stayed out of the news by keeping her clothes on and not attacking any inanimate objects. But now a bizarre video has surfaced on the web, in which Brit goes on a very sarcastic rant about how nice the media is and how great a decision it was for her manager Larry Rudolph to send her to rehab.

Dancing with the Stars: Clyde Takes a Slide

Apolo_anton_ohno Dancing with the Stars
Title: "Eliminations"
First Aired: 4/17/07
Seriously, America, are you out to destroy every female dancer on Dancing with the Stars? There’s no other explanation, outside of misogyny, for this week’s bottom-two landing by Heather Mills. She’s consistently been a solid dancer, especially compared to some of her male counterparts, and yet, there she was, basking in the red light. I am appalled and exasperated.

Thank goodness for small miracles; the one to go this week is the one who should have gone on Week One -- Clyde Drexler. He didn’t put in the same effort as the other dancers, and yet grew defensive with the judges' harsh but spot-on commentary. So long, Clyde -- I hate to say it, but you won’t exactly be missed.

MeeVee Exclusive! Interview with Heroes Star Greg Grunberg

Greg_grunberg_heroes_2 In keeping with our "Be Hiroic" theme this week, we talk with actor Greg Grunberg, who plays psychic cop Matt Parkman on Heroes. Although Matt hasn't always operated on the right side of the law, his never-ending quest for the truth makes him a Hero in our eyes. Here Greg discusses his take on the show, his partner in crime Clea DuVall, and his sandbox sidekick J.J. Abrams.

What is it about Heroes that has so completely captured people's imagination?
I just think it’s fresh, in a way. I don’t think you have one character that you follow that you kind of get tired of their power. They're all relatable characters, and you can latch onto somebody and that can be your favorite, and that can change. And also, you don’t know if all of these people are good or bad. I mean, we just shot something where I take a turn, and it’s like... wow. You look and go, "Are you kidding me? Why would he...?" It was really interesting when I read the script. It’s justified -- you understand that he would do it -- but it just makes for a more interesting character.

The wiener, of course, is Sanjaya Malakar! He and his stupid doo-rag. He and his idiot hair. He and his poopy-doopy face! Yep, this is the level of discourse that his continued existence on American Idol has brought us to.

Even Simon Cowell doesn't know what to say. "Ghastly." "Cabaret." These phrases lose their power when the contestant knows he sucks, and when the contestant doesn't care. So, you have to wonder how much impact Simon's tirade against Sanjaya on last night's episode will actually have, no matter how freaking mean it was.

MeeVee Exclusive! Interview with Matt Dallas of ABC Family's Kyle XY

Kylexy_2 It's hard to imagine that just five years ago, Matt Dallas was juggling two jobs and trying to save up money for a car. Today, as he's driving around in his new Mercedes, those impoverished days seem like a distant past. Who would have known back then that Matt's face (and bellybutton-less abdomen) would soon be plastered on billboards, buildings, and bus shelters nationwide to promote the ABC Family series Kyle XY?

Phoenix native Matt started acting at age 12, in a community theater production of The Ugly Duckling. His exploits in Los Angeles began with a few modest modeling gigs. Matt recalls the day he got a last minute call for an audition for a TV show. He showed up late, was the last one to read, but he nailed it and won the title role in Kyle XY.

In the past couple of years, Matt's had a fair share of supporting film roles, but it's the ABC Family series that has made him a rising superstar. MeeVee's own Kyle XY fan Steve Czarnecki caught up with Matt recently, and got the inside scoop on the twists and surprises behind Season Two of this runaway hit show!

Title: "Sambas and Rumbas"
First Aired: 4/16/07

Only two women are left on this season’s Dancing with the Stars, and one is so full of herself she doesn’t need any more votes. (Laila Ali, I’m talking to you.) So far, the men have managed to remain unscathed (save John Ratzenberger’s near miss last week). That doesn’t mean they haven’t had a few tongue-lashings from the oh-so-wise judges, but they’ve all lived to dance another dance.

Until now.

I’m making a prediction that on Tuesday night, Clyde Drexler’s number is up. His rumba was utterly atrocious. This nice guy may not finish last, but let’s hope he is at the end of the line.
